[user7891011]

How does this meal plan look to you? Is it varied enough? I want to add more meat dishes but struggling to find the time ATM. He also has 3 bottles a day. He sometimes refuses the odd meal when I assume he's being fussy or just isn't hungry. TIA!

Lunch- avocado on brown toast and banana
Dinner- salmon and spinach quiche and babybel, biscuit and fruit

Tuesday- breakfast- prune porridge
Lunch- cheese sandwich, Cheerios and raisins
Dinner- tomato, red pepper and carrot pasta, fruit

Wednesday - breakfast-cinnamon fruit toast and yoghurt
Lunch- fish fingers and sweet potato fries, apple juice
Dinner- creme fraiche pasta with peas and brocolli

Thursday- breakfast- prune porridge

Dinner- root veg mash, raisins And yoghurt

Friday- breakfast- cinnamon fruit toast and a yoghurt

Has this posted with no paragraphs? Could someone tell me and I'll repost haha thank you

It has paragraphs and also sounds fine for an 11 month old only thing I would say is more veg babies don't need meat

Seems fine. Are you eating the same?
DD had the same lunch and dinner as us, so things like curry, chilli, bolognese, cottage pie, lasagna, fish pie etc
I wouldn’t be doing fruit toast as often-what about weetabix and bitesize shredded wheat? I offer fruit with every meal too.
Crumpets are popular I find.

I agree with PP. sounds good, but a bit more veg.
Eg: salmon and spinach quiche and babybel, biscuit and fruit - nothing bad here. But I’d swap the babybel for some kind of veg stick. And depending what kind of biscuit then maybe swap it out - an odd biscuit won’t kill him but he doesn’t need a pudding every meal.

Then: fish fingers and sweet potato fries, apple juice. Just water or milk is fine to drink (occasional fruit juice is fine too if it’s watered down but they don’t need anything other than water or milk). Then I’d add peas to the meal (or French beans, etc depending what he likes).

He’s getting fish and eggs which are good protein sources so he doesn’t need more meat.

I'd probably cut down on so much fruit a day although it's good for them they have a lot of sugars, albeit natural sugars but they're still high in them as well as apple juice.

But pasta bolognese is usually a good one to throw in too - depending what you’re worried about them getting enough of you can make it with meat or pad out the meat with lentils, and have a load of veg blended in the sauce too.

I never knew that. Mine had meat. Mind you that was years ago. Meat, poultry, two veg and gravy. Sometimes fish. Sometimes pasta. Fruit, cheese, cereal, some bread, yogurt. Soup. Fruit juice, water, milk.

I remember cutting meat off a lamb chop, putting it in blender with potato, 2veg, gravy and mint sauce :-).

Times have changed.

Bolognese is wonderful for hiding all sorts of veg and has lots of tomatoes which is healthy. So is cottage pie or shepherd's pie. Not that babies notice veg, older children do of course and often decide they don't like this or that but if they don't know, they eat it.

This is all great thank you so much everyone. More veg it is!!

Mine is the same age. He pretty much has:

Breakfast : porridge with fruit purée, 1/2 banana. He has that prob 5/6 days a week. Weekends sometimes boiled egg and toast/ fruit/ waffles/ yogurt

Lunch: most days I do cream cheese/ avocado or houmous on toast.
With veg and fruit on side. Either extra veg leftover from night before like cooked carrots or broccoli, or something like tomatoes and cucumber. Fruit varies but eats most types. Green Yogurt. He will eat the odd different lunch like pasta/ leftovers/ falafels 1-2 times a week.

Dinner: generally whatever we have. He usually has protein/ carb/ x2 veg. Plus yogurt or fruit after. Tonight was black bean quesadillas, avocado, tomatoes and cucumber. Last night pesto and creme fraiche pasta, cheese, artichoke, peas.
